This project has moved over to SpigotMC!
Thank you guys so much for all the downloads on BukkitDev. Head on over to SpigotMC to download the latest version of MobCatcher.
This page will no longer be updated.

MobCatcher allows players to capture mobs and get the corresponding spawn eggs. This is useful for trading and transporting mobs from player to player or even across worlds. As well as having a configurable capture item, MobCatcher also boasts configurable mob types and item costs per capture, bringing a new economic value to mob types both peaceful and hostile. MobCatcher is able to store and recall mob specific data saved to specific spawn eggs. This means things like capturing and spawning colored sheep, baby animals, and tamed wolves is possible! This is done via a separate .dat file which saves data for each mob and removes it when that mob is spawned.Try it out on your server today!

This plugin collects basic usage information for mcstats.org. You may opt out in the generated pluginMetrics config file.

MobCatcher will NOT work if you are not using the version of CB it was intended for. Due to the Bukkit "safeguard' system, MobCatcher will break every version change. Do NOT post tickets or comments about ClassNotFoundExceptions or infinite spawning glitches as these are caused by you using the wrong version.

Currently, all players can right click a spawner with a spawn egg (even ones from this plugin) and change the spawner type. Could you perhaps add an option to disable that for non-op players, or players without a certain permission?

EggCatcher doesn't accomplish half of the features that the full version of MobCatcher has. You can use whichever plugin you like, but I think a quick look at the download numbers will tell you which is the better plugin.

I know a lot of you have been asking, so here's the date. The full version of MobCatcher will be uploaded Saturday at 3pm. Once it is approved by the Spigot staff it will be $7.50 (25% OFF!) for 24 hours only. Make sure you're watching or you'll miss it!
